Question:

Hello What size snap clip do I need on my boat windshield per the attached photo?

The windshield snap is going to go over the lower trim piece and clip into the gasket on the glass so based on the picture you've provided you'll need the Taylor Made Top-Lok Windshield Snaps for Canvas Covers - 3/4" Trim # 3691348.

Hi Kevin, I just ordered 32 of these 3/4'' snaps for my 1987 Sea Ray Cabin Cuddy. My question is how to remove the old ones. Is there a special tool for that? I've tried a butter knife, flat-nose screwdriver, etc. and can't figure it out how to do it safely and without scratching up the trim. My new buttons won't go onto the old Top-Lok snaps. Any ideas? or a video?

@JeffW Hey Jeff, We unfortunately do not have a video showing how to install/remove the Taylor Made Top-Lok Windshield Snaps # 3691348. These pinch onto the windshield trim so you'll need to get the straighter side of the clip to pop off first in order to pull the hook side away. To avoid scratching the trim you'll want to use a composite trim panel tool # PT73HJ. This would allow you to pry the snap up and pull it off without scratching up the trim or any paint.
